German Dandelion Postage Stamp

Representing Germany with stamps in my Dandelion Archive is this stamp.*It was released in 1977 and has the German for dandelion on the stamp: LowenzahnI'm struggling to find the artist who did the illustrations, however I did read in a stamp catalogue that the print run was 12,217,000 - if that's of any interest.*I also have a first day over of this set this is from, with a lovely embossed dandelion on the envelope - please see March 2013 post on this blog.

About Me

I am a visual artist living and working in Preston, UK. My work deals with rural and urban landscapes and amongst other things I have a strange interest in weeds.
This led to a particular interest in dandelions: their complexity and variety; folklore and uses; science and research plus their representation in art in an historical and contemporary context.
